AML Survivor Jennifer Barish Talks About Returning to Work and Dancing in the Rain

Jennifer Barish is now a 10 year survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and today she walks us through her journey of returning to work, battling chronic GVHD, and more. 

We always hear the cliché about this journey being a marathon, not a sprint. But Jen's journey of slowly returning to work after a five year leave of absence illustrates this point.  She needed a plan, but also needed to be flexible with that plan. 

Sometimes, the simplest quote can provide inspiration. Jen knows that "Life is About Learning to Dance in the Rain."  She talks about deriving inspiration from that advice, how its helped on her journey, and how she now mentors others.
